ment, looking directly upon its eastern
face. 1t never seems twics alike. 1t has
its moods and changes Of color, like the
tops of the Swiss Alps. This morning
the base Of the six hundred foot
structure was lost in deep blue
mist, which filed the valley for o
depth Of a couple Of hundred feet. Then
came a section of perhaps one hundred feet
more in which the shaft was purple and
pink, the whole crowned with q white
blazing column, hundreds Of feet high,
flashing back the sunlight, set against o
deep blue western sky! At another time
you will see the cold, gray base of the
monument rising above the deep green
foliage which surrounds it, with the dark
blue highlands of Arlington beyond, and
overlapping all these the graceful shaft
r'erces the heavens. towering far above
,ns horizon line, until its top is lost in o
sea Of feecy clouds. 1t is . realized
vision Of Jacobs ladder, real
visible stone causeway leading from
Heaven to earth. DO you know Of any
other monument like that? A few even
ings ago there was a grand thunder
shower In the east. The west was black
with darkness and even the white monu.
ment was blotted out Of sight But at
every fash of the lightning the whole
eastern face of the monument cleaned
and flashed like polished sword, coming
out OF the darkness with suddenness and
vividness that was startling. 1t seemed
to be a ghastly monument, column Of
electricity. which leaped from the earth to
the sky. l am sure no other monument
in this world can exhibit such q phase a.

The New York Weekly Tribune.

The Weekly Tribune, which is offered to
subscribers in accordance with the great
offers " on the first page, will go into the
fight of the presidential campaign greatly
enlarged as per announcement last week.
1t will also have new presses of the
latest pattern, and generally appears to be
preparing for vigorous and telling work
during the coming year, There is no more
sound and instructive paper printed in any
of the large cities. The tribune eXcels es-
pecially in the discussion of questions of
general public interest-as for instance, that
of pensions to the Union volunteers, which
is topic of interest in every part of the
country and TO which the Tribune is giving
a great deal of space. We notice that the
Tribune gives the arguments for service
pension especial prominence. In regard TO
all questions of national importance the
Tribune is a republican textbook of great
authority and ability. If there was ever a
time in the history of the country when
patriotic men need to think upon national
topics that time is the next twelve months

Music Conventions.

1t has been generally believed that the
late Lowell Mason was the father of the
music festival-Or convention, as it was
called until within few years. He was
not a little proud of the distinction, but the
truth is that he borrowed the idea which he
put into such extensive and successful use
from Vermont and in letter written not
long previous to his death he referred to the
fact of conducting one of these gatherings,
but he said they were not called conven-
tons in those days" In this, however, he
was mistaken. And to show that they were
so called, as well as to present very inter-
esting document, the following call, taken
from the paper in which it was published at
the time, is presented:
SACRED MUSIC STATE CONVENTION.
After correspondence and consultation
with gentlemen in different parts of Yer
mont, it has been deemed advisable to call
a state convention, to be holden at Mont
pelier on Wednesday and Thursday, the
22d and 23d of May instant, for the purpose of
devising means to awaken a more general
and deeper interest in SACRED MUSCLE
secure more just appreciation of its high
claims, particularly as divine institution,
to the liberal support of the Christian pub
lie; to elevate the standard of practical eX-
cellence of music in our churches, and, if
possible, to give to it high and uniform
character throughout the state. In further
ance of these objects, and in order to render
the convention itself interesting, arrange
ments are in progress, and have been in part
completed, to secure addresses from gentle
men of high literary attainments upon the
importance and character of music for pub
lie worship, on the influence of music upon
moral and intellectual character, on the
spirit and manner of performing sacred
music, and upon the best modes of instruc-
ton 1t is designed to make sacred music
a part of the exercises of the convention
and to close with an address on the first sub.
ject named by Rev DIR. Bates of Middle
bury and by concert on the evening OF
the 23d. The attendance of clergymen, OF
musicians, vocal and instrumental, and the
lovers of sacred song generally, is earnestly
desired

Wishing to learn more about these early
conventions, reporter saw the venerable
Moses f.. Cheney, who is now sojourning in
Rutland and obtained from him the follow
ing interesting facts; Joshua Bates, presi-
dent of Middlebury College, was president
of the convention, and by previous request
delivered an address. Many clergymen and
several lawyers were in attendance Thir-
teen resolutions were discussed. Moses e.
Cheney was director; Il. p. Walton, Jr.
was secretary; Solomon Durgan, treasurer,
and John III. Paddock, organist The con-
cert the last evening was participated in by
two hundred singers. The programme was
made up from the Boston Academy's Collec-
ton and the Boston Chorus Book. Twenty
five dollars We're deposited in the treasury.
The plan was then formed for the organiza-
ton TO meet annually at times and places
appointed by committees. The second CON
vention was at Newbury, 1910; the third at
Windsor, 1871; the fourth at Woodstock,
1872; and the fifth at Middlebury, 1913.
These conventions were eminently success
full, as the files of the papers of those times
will show. Mr. Cheney said there was no
doubt OF the fact that these were the first
state musical conventions ever held in
America, and modern conventions, festivals
and jubilees, great and small, are said TO
have grown from them. Being asked who
